Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Sauce:

  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup Belgian ale or hoppy wheat beer

For the biscuits:

  • 3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 8 tbs butter cut into cubes
  • 1 tbs honey plus 2 tbs (divided)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup Belgian ale or hoppy wheat beer
  • ΒΌ tsp course sea salt

Instructions
 

To make the strawberry sauce:

  • Add the strawberries, sugar and beer to a saucepan over medium high heat.
  • Allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Add to a food processor or blender, blend until smooth.

To Make the Biscuits:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • In a processor add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Pulse to combine. Add the butter and 1 tbs honey, process until well combined. Add to a large bowl.
  • Add the milk and beer. Mix with a fork until just combined.
  • Add to a well-floured flat surface, pat into a rectangle. Using a cold rolling pin (preferably marble) gently roll into a large rectangle, about 1 inch in thickness, using as few strokes as possible.
  • Fold the dough into thirds as you would a letter about to go into an envelope. Roll lightly, once in each direction to about 1 inch thickness, fold in thirds again. Gently roll into about 1 1/2 inch thickness (this will give you the flakey layers).
  • Using a biscuit cutter cut out 6 to 8 biscuits. Place in a baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Add the remaining 2 tbs honey to a microwave safe dish. Microwave for about 15 seconds or until thinned.
  • Brush biscuits with honey and sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake at 425 for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Serve warm with strawberry sauce
